    Calculate in Word Add-in

    It saves me a lot of time and effort, especially when making adjustments to my reports!

    Calculate in Word Add-in

    This tool could be useful for structural and civil engineers who need to integrate calculations directly into their engineering reports. At just $5.00 per month, it's an affordable alternative to Mathcad. For more info see www.calculateinword.com

    Things you love/hate with mathcad

    Yes, that's always the problem with engineering. If your work is not checked there is the risk that errors are not noted. I always (try to) write my reports in a way that it could be checked by an external reviewer. And my reports often are reviewed (and off course the reviewer has comments :( )

    Things you love/hate with mathcad

    I do my math in Word (Calculate in Word Add-in), so I don't have to copy and past the math. Output from other programs, like RFEM I do have to copy and paste.

    Things you love/hate with mathcad

    For me it's really important to have an efficient workflow. The copying and pasting of the Mathcad results into my Word document is to much of a hassle.

    I always want to have the units in the proper capitalization, in my report and also on my drawings.
